As an Arab , we never learned anything about the natives of North Africa in schools ( most of the history was about the Islamic empire and the good parts only ), i just assumed we’re all Arabs with different accents. Such rich and powerful history deserves to be proud of and I can’t wait to visit all the Maghreb countries. Love from Palestine
@Fedor Silva you can't call it bs neither fully true, there's always that guy who tells the story from his side and it goes like that, os yea there's some true and theres some bs right here
Well, logically, were there "Arabic" dialects in North Africa before the spread of Islam,? Then did they not teach you about the wars between Muslims and Amazigh? Did they not teach you that those who brought down the Umayyad Empire were the Amazigh? I don't know what history you learn in school
You claim that you are a Palestinian Arab, can you prove that? I mean if you are Then you are not a native palestinian, the Arabs are from the Arabian Peninsula, which means that your ancestors moved to Palestine during the Islamic invasion, Through my study of history, I know that many group of peoples/ethnics lived in Palestine: Canaanites, Hebrews, Aramic Phoenicians, Assyrians, even Romans and Egyptians.. So how do you want to attribute Palestine to your Arabness only? Where did those indigenous peoples who lived in Palestine for thousands of years go? Did they become extinct? I mean in your history books which based on an Arabizm and Islamizm idiologie, they do not even teach you the true history of Palestine .
I'm Moroccan myself, with Zenata origins. And a lot of the stuff mentioned in this video are new to me. The real history of Morocco pre-Islamic conquests is obscure to a lot of us and not much attention is given to it in the media. It took a RUclips channel to enlighten a lot of us about our real history.
@Abdulgani Ali He could probably tell you his tribe, sub tribe and clan, name a few of his ancestors and that of his neighbours that are part of his tribe. He speaks a language that is nowhere spoken in the middle East. So what's up with you talking uneducated. Are you a we wuzz and shiiet?
I gotta say it’s so cool how in the RUclips comments you see people from every region discussed these days. It demonstrates how much this stuff still matters and how important it is to reflect on everyone’s history rather than only focusing on a more limited scope.
Its only in the last decade or 2 that people in every part of the planet can learn and know the entirety of world history. We must learn about each other quickly

But he got it wrong again vis à vis religion: for example when he portrayed the khawarej he said they based their belief on this hadith "Yahya bin Abu Muta' said: I heard 'Irbad bin Sariyah say: 'One day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up among us and delivered a deeply moving speech to us that melted our hearts and caused our eyes to overflow with tears. It was said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have delivered a speech of farewell, so enjoin something upon us.' He said: 'I urge you to fear Allah, and to listen and obey, even if (your leader) is an Abyssinian slave. After I am gone, you will see great conflict. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the path of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, and cling stubbornly to it. And beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.'" this hadith goes utterly against the khawarej & is one of the main islamic principles instructing muslims to refrain from bloody rebellions as much as possible like dictated by other hadiths such as the one prophecysing the coming of evil leaders ruling the muslims yet the prophet peace be upon Him instructed us not to rebel except we see public open disbelief. Here is an other hadith prophecysing about the khawarej " Narrated Abu Sa`id: `Ali sent a piece of gold to the Prophet who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin H`Abis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid at-Ta'i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-`Amir who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us." The Prophet said, "I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the Prophet ) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet ' said "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)." Sahih al-Bukhari 3344

Amazing. I have quite a few Berber friends here in San Francisco who are from Algeria and Morocco, and one of them gave me a Tuareg medallion, which I treasure.
It's actually a necklace, not a medallion, given me by one of my Algerian friends here in San Francisco. Searching "Tuareg" will give you samples of their beautiful jewelry. The Tuareg are Berbers and are considered to be the oldest civilization in the Mahgreb -- north Africa -- and they're largeliy in the Sahara. Their music is also beautiful.

@@ColonelFluffles it doesn't matter that much tbh, Moroccan are used to seeing the map with that imaginary border, but they know it's not true because they can go to Western Sahara whenever they want
The video contains mistakes , the Maghreb was under Byzantine rule before the Ummaymyed conquest and there was a Berber rebellion against the Byzantines and Christianity ( Byzantines forced all of their subjects including Jews in North Africa to convert to Christianity and prosecuted the Berbers with the support of St Augustin of hippo who supported the Byzantines against the berbers ) caliphate Omar refused any expansion into the Maghreb despite Berber tribesmen asking his aid against the Byzantines , caliphate Omar believed that the Maghreb was divided by competing tribes and the caliphate was to large to be responsible to the people in the current caliphate to make any additional expansion arguing as he famously side if a dogs dies out of hunger it would be my responsibility as a caliphate thus I can’t expand into new territory , but after the passing of the Rashidun Caliphs , power shifted to the Ummaymyed and the Byzantines who controlled Tunisia attacked Egypt from their base in Tunisia , the Ummaymyed in response decided to deny the Byzantines a safe haven in Maghreb and Iberia , believing it was strategically necessary for the security of the Ummaymyed caliphate state to deny the Byzantines any presence in the Maghreb and Iberia , the Ummaymyed wanted to be the new Roman Empire they also relied on Arab nationalism instead of Islam to insure the loyalty of Arab tribes ( which ironically lead to the overthrow of the Ummaymyed in Syria and accusing them of betraying the spirit of Islam ) the Ummaymyed famously coined the term that Yemen is the origin of Arabs to win over the support of Yemeni fighters .
I’ve done a lot research on the rif war, which is often forgotten but i think is one of the underrated gorilla campaigns in history, your Tiny population fought Spain to a standstill, brutally defeating and humiliating them multiple times and had some impressive victories against the French, one French soldier was quoted in saying “incredible men these Rifianians, they do not know the meaning of fear, one will attack an entire company. I admire them and love them but i will kill them on sight”

This was pretty cool.. It put on a whole different light for me regarding Reconquista. Also differentiation between Moor and Arab. Helps un-muddle the history of the regions at hand big time. Now to go utilize this new contextual knowledge on other material! lol
I just found my fellow country man who will get interested in the way I was in the past more than 2 years ago and still can't hold it back. This channel is great man. It's my favorite one whenever it release it's history video u better watch them all.
As an Amazigh from the atlas mountains in Algeria, I believe that such documentaries are very important for many North Africans who think that they are Arabs ignoring that they in fact amazigh...as you mentioned, the modern post colonial regimes in our countries have brainwashed the population to believe that they only Arabs, I am still sad to hear from many so much ignorance of our history, but we can stay optimistic, as the history is waiting to be read
it's kinda complicated, i'm algerian too but the definition of arab is no longer strictly ethnical and it's cultural, but people mix the two strictly speaking, even mashrik or eastern arabs arn't arabs, the only ethnically arab arabs are yemenis, the other arabs from even the arabian peninsula are arabized arabs, this was even mentionned before islam arab arabia, and arab mustaraba i consider myself ethnically amazigh, we even asked about the origin of our grandfather and from my mom's uncles side we are amazigh, and we used to think from my father side we were from arab origin but found we were wrong lol but it's a fact that most of algerians are arabized culturally, but bc of ignorance, they started to believe that all algerians are of arab ancestry lol which nobody believe, even arabs from eastern arab world will never consider algerians arabs, like gulf people would never let their daughters marry someone from the maghreb lol
@@zazugee the word "arab" nowadays really just describes arabic speaking countries. As you said, we all have differing ethnicities but the language, religion and culture are the unifying variable. So yeah arab isn't an ethnicity really, but it's easier to identify ourselves as such because of how impactful the culture is. And the thing with the gulfs not marrying from maghreb is true but that's again due to more social issues and not real ethnic. Even within the gulf itself, families don't marry depending on the region lol
The Arab word is a western therm , they created is to make it easy for them to call all the no-Europeans people of the Mediterranean coast. But i don't blame the Arabs and the Europeans, I blame the Berbers "amazigh" for ignoring their history and their identity.
@@zazugee The last part is literally not true. Nobody in the gulf knows about berbers/amazigh simply that they are muslim brothers and sisters and are part of the wider arab world. The notion that they consider maghreb as lesser arabs literally does not exist and the only time I heard it was from amazigh teens when I visited Morocco. In my area a lot of levantine women from Lebanon travel for example and end up marrying (and some men too) and literally no one has ever looked down on them or said anyhthing about that, the only thing is that some people from specific tribes always oppose marriage from outside the tribe, or oppose marriage from specific tribes. You really think the "degree" in which you are arab matters to them? Like I said most literally have no idea and think kabyle and amazigh are like the people in the arabian peninsula and are arabized/muslim/arab like all of us. We all have different dialects and maaaany languages but are arabs if we speak arabic or come from a country that's part of that world with a very close shared history. At customs they consider Somalis our brothers and sisters and call them as arabs or another identity+arab or as people with a close history and part of the arab world and arab league, nobody cares if you are arabized lol. I am literally arabized and never in my life have I seen or heard anyone actually look down on me for it and most don't even know you can look down on someone for that, and the same thing with my entire family and entire region who have traveled all across the world and the arab world and don't even know that is a thing and you are more likely to get discriminated against for literally any other reason lmao Besides if you are arabized or have family who are or are from a tribe who settled from arabia or arabized then a DNA test can't tell you if that is true or not or how much native DNA took over as your tribe or families settled, especially not from a DNA test that can only go back a handful of generations. Not to mention there is no magical "arab gene" lol. Anyways they love you (or hate you ig) regardless.
As Tunisian, we never learned about Berber history so deep. It was all about Carthage, punics, bezentin, arabs who conquered north africa and the recent history (france and turkey).

Remnants of great Berber mausoleums are not only found on the coast region of the Maghreb, but deep in the Sahara as well. The tomb of Tin Hinan, ancient queen of the Tuaregs is probably the most famous example of this. (The tomb is also featured in the critically acclaimed video game franchise Amnesia, where it plays a key role in the story.)

@@LauftFafa 40% in Morocco speaks Tamazight, and almost 50% of the Moroccans worldwide speaks Tamazight. Besides that, many Arabic speaking Moroccans know that they are Amazigh, and the Moroccan culture is almost fully Amazigh, the clothing, traditions, food, architecture, dances etc
@wulpurgis ''via slave-trade''?? are you high or something? berber slave-traders sell the black African they captured to middle eastern & north Africa markets not to westerners and those enslaved black African captives were mostly females and had not been 'culturally' berberized or arabized yet.
@@LostTumbs Because they didn't. They simply established colonies along the coast without resistance from the Berbers as they had good relations and it allowed them to trade in a mutually beneficial way. When Carthage expanded, it didn't just "conquer" Berbers, it made them fight amongst each other, because Carthage was never alone and always had allies, tributaries and subjects amongst it's neighbors. Plus, the Egyptians also had very little incentives to conquer this area of the world anyway, they always either kept to themselves or tried to conquer the much more fertile and rich Levant Also, cultural influences go both ways, we know that the Amazigh language has borrowed words from every other people that came along north Africa through cultural exchanges and even conserved those words very well. Nowadays this language is even frequently used by linguists to try and piece out those ancient languages like the African Romance or (Carthaginian) Phoenician, it is not enough since it's just a few loan words, but it's a really useful source to have.
@@LostTumbs Numidia wasn't a unified kingdom during the Carthaginian period, the berber were still disunited between different tribes and confederation. The Carthaginian sure had good relations with them overall but they still went to war with them on occasion
It's sad how we as north Africans we never learn about our history in schools it is completely ignored as if no one lived here before the few thousand Arab soldiers. Thank you for your work ❤
Sub Saharan African Here!! I'm really impressed by this video. I always thought that berber was only a native language of north africa but i found out that there is north african native tribe named berber. Greetings from zambia 🇿🇲
No such thing as a "Sub Saharan African". Do not let liars, invaders, and murderers, or their descendants, try to compartmentalize you to one region on that continent, as if the Sahara is some impassable barrier.
@@rockymvvrcianu6846 This history isn't complete. I don't like the term sub-Saharan African because it denotes race and not location. It shouldn't. North Africa had people living in the desert when it was green Sahara. Archeologists have found evidence of them.

Gotta feel respect towards the Berbers, what an amazing stand against the might of the Arabs. The Berber Revolt of 740 in Iberia did play a major role in History, even greater than what was described here. In fact, the whole of the ancient Roman Province of Gallaecia was abandoned, encompassing what is nowadays Galicia (Spain) and Northern Portugal. This throw the region into what we call in Portugal the _Ermamento_ , meaning roughly an "unpopulated area". Of course the region wasn't all deprived of people, but it did presented an awkward situation, for it was not under the control of neither the Caliphate nor the Kingdom of Asturias. Churches and monasteries were all that could maintain a sense of cohesion here for the next decades, but it was indeed an easy target for the Kingdom of Asturias to come and claim it. Some of the first nobles of Asturias were indeed from Gallaecia, not Asturias itself. Notice that, in the History of the Reconquista, these early stages are not mentioned as conquests, but by the latin name of _Praesvria_ , meaning something like "to claim", not so much "to conquer" or "to retake". Such is the case of the _Praesvria_ of now Portuguese cities such as Braga, Porto (and the _Praesvria_ of Porto started the creation of the County of Portucale, the seed to what would become an independent Portugal in 1143), Chaves and Lamego, as soon as in the IX century. By the X Century, Reconquest secured all regions North of the Douro, never to loose it again, and indeed the Reconquista march to the South always went on further in the West than in the East. Muslim archaelogical foundings are not to be found (no pun intended) in Gallaecia. Even Muslim names for places/rivers or villages/towns are pratically none, much differently from the rest of the country, where they come by the dozens. We do have lots of "legends" about Moorish princessess traped inside some rock, who can be heard singing or working on a loom and only during the night of St. John's day, go figure - don't ask me why... All started with the Berber Revolt. Cheers from sunny Northeastern Portugal. 😎🇵🇹

Yes and we are also one of the biggest traitors to each other. Never give a Berber your back, i tell you that as an Mazigh myself! Today they are just claiming they are descend of Imazighen but can't even speak the language 🤣
@@benimazigh5631 You're absolutely right...Treason and selfishness wiped us apart. And amazigh alphabet was disappeared since the romans invaded. So we embarrassed arabic language and religion and now we are so far from the amazigh people that lived here 3000 years before this day.
You should have brought up the Guanche people of the Canary Islands. It is known that they are related to the mainland Berber tribes. They also developed a unique whistling language later known as Silbo.
While there is a genetic link, is a stretch to call Guanches Amazig or Berebers, they had a unique culture that develop in isolation for thousands of years.
@@XxLIVRAxX wtf No it's not a stretch... Guanches were amazigh too, if you know even a bit you'd know they had the same lifestyle. They respected their ancestors by mummifying them and built granaries in the mountains just like berbers did all over north africa. And let's not talk about the genetic studies who further proved it.

@@LuisAldamiz which is 3000 years now unless I am somehow mistaken, and until 1402 there was basically no outside influence, so 2400 years of isolation, which does qualify as "thousands of years".

@Μαρίνα Σ good question. You are Right. The Haplogroup E is Find in North Africans, Middle Easterners and in Balkans. the Balkans share commom ancestors with the Berbers? Interesting.
Such a great piece of work. As a Moroccan, this is not what they taught us in schools. In fact we never knew that such a war existed between the arabs and the berbers.
The Alawiet dynastie don’t whant you to know because it will put them in the shadow of the ones who are natural leaders and fought only when it came up to their freedom and independence.
Pay attention next time during history class instead of sleeping. We do 100 learn about berber revolt and Moroccan tribes winning independence from eastern caliphates effectively starting the first moroccan states of nekour/sijilmasa/barghwata and zenata confederate.

Well, logically, were there "Arabic" dialects in North Africa before the spread of Islam,? Then did they not teach you about the wars between Muslims and Amazigh? Did they not teach you that those who brought down the Umayyad Empire were the Amazigh? I don't know what history you learn in school
So, you believe that North africans AMAZIGH and Egyptians, Arabians, Sudanese and lebanese are same race/ people?
You claim that you are a Palestinian Arab, can you prove that? I mean if you are Then you are not a native palestinian, the Arabs are from the Arabian Peninsula, which means that your ancestors moved to Palestine during the Islamic invasion,
Through my study of history, I know that many group of peoples/ethnics lived in Palestine: Canaanites, Hebrews, Aramic Phoenicians, Assyrians, even Romans and Egyptians.. So how do you want to attribute Palestine to your Arabness only? Where did those indigenous peoples who lived in Palestine for thousands of years go? Did they become extinct?
I mean in your history books which based on an Arabizm and Islamizm idiologie, they do not even teach you the true history of Palestine .

Very nicely done
But he got it wrong again vis à vis religion: for example when he portrayed the khawarej he said they based their belief on this hadith "Yahya bin Abu Muta' said:
I heard 'Irbad bin Sariyah say: 'One day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up among us and delivered a deeply moving speech to us that melted our hearts and caused our eyes to overflow with tears. It was said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have delivered a speech of farewell, so enjoin something upon us.' He said: 'I urge you to fear Allah, and to listen and obey, even if (your leader) is an Abyssinian slave. After I am gone, you will see great conflict. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the path of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, and cling stubbornly to it. And beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.'" this hadith goes utterly against the khawarej & is one of the main islamic principles instructing muslims to refrain from bloody rebellions as much as possible like dictated by other hadiths such as the one prophecysing the coming of evil leaders ruling the muslims yet the prophet peace be upon Him instructed us not to rebel except we see public open disbelief. Here is an other hadith prophecysing about the khawarej "
Narrated Abu Sa`id:
`Ali sent a piece of gold to the Prophet who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin H`Abis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid at-Ta'i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-`Amir who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us." The Prophet said, "I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the Prophet ) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet ' said "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)."

The video contains mistakes , the Maghreb was under Byzantine rule before the Ummaymyed conquest and there was a Berber rebellion against the Byzantines and Christianity ( Byzantines forced all of their subjects including Jews in North Africa to convert to Christianity and prosecuted the Berbers with the support of St Augustin of hippo who supported the Byzantines against the berbers ) caliphate Omar refused any expansion into the Maghreb despite Berber tribesmen asking his aid against the Byzantines , caliphate Omar believed that the Maghreb was divided by competing tribes and the caliphate was to large to be responsible to the people in the current caliphate to make any additional expansion arguing as he famously side if a dogs dies out of hunger it would be my responsibility as a caliphate thus I can’t expand into new territory , but after the passing of the Rashidun Caliphs , power shifted to the Ummaymyed and the Byzantines who controlled Tunisia attacked Egypt from their base in Tunisia , the Ummaymyed in response decided to deny the Byzantines a safe haven in Maghreb and Iberia , believing it was strategically necessary for the security of the Ummaymyed caliphate state to deny the Byzantines any presence in the Maghreb and Iberia , the Ummaymyed wanted to be the new Roman Empire they also relied on Arab nationalism instead of Islam to insure the loyalty of Arab tribes ( which ironically lead to the overthrow of the Ummaymyed in Syria and accusing them of betraying the spirit of Islam ) the Ummaymyed famously coined the term that Yemen is the origin of Arabs to win over the support of Yemeni fighters .
I’ve done a lot research on the rif war, which is often forgotten but i think is one of the underrated gorilla campaigns in history, your Tiny population fought Spain to a standstill, brutally defeating and humiliating them multiple times and had some impressive victories against the French, one French soldier was quoted in saying “incredible men these Rifianians, they do not know the meaning of fear, one will attack an entire company. I admire them and love them but i will kill them on sight”

There is no development in any country in the world without political stability and freedom of trade, and these things are not present in the Middle East problem area due to America’s invasion of Iraq and the spread of terrorist movements in Africa and dictatorial regimes that are protected by Europe.

I just wanna say that you guys are doing a fantastic job! Together with other channels, Kings and Generals made sure that my interest in history still burns bright for many years. And you guys were very helpful with my historical research assignments back in my school years. Now I'm in my last year of uni and I'll make sure to keep watching your videos long after I graduate.
This was pretty cool.. It put on a whole different light for me regarding Reconquista. Also differentiation between Moor and Arab. Helps un-muddle the history of the regions at hand big time. Now to go utilize this new contextual knowledge on other material! lol
I just found my fellow country man who will get interested in the way I was in the past more than 2 years ago and still can't hold it back. This channel is great man. It's my favorite one whenever it release it's history video u better watch them all.
As an Amazigh from the atlas mountains in Algeria, I believe that such documentaries are very important for many North Africans who think that they are Arabs ignoring that they in fact amazigh...as you mentioned, the modern post colonial regimes in our countries have brainwashed the population to believe that they only Arabs, I am still sad to hear from many so much ignorance of our history, but we can stay optimistic, as the history is waiting to be read
it's kinda complicated, i'm algerian too
but the definition of arab is no longer strictly ethnical and it's cultural, but people mix the two
strictly speaking, even mashrik or eastern arabs arn't arabs, the only ethnically arab arabs are yemenis, the other arabs from even the arabian peninsula are arabized arabs, this was even mentionned before islam arab arabia, and arab mustaraba
i consider myself ethnically amazigh, we even asked about the origin of our grandfather and from my mom's uncles side we are amazigh, and we used to think from my father side we were from arab origin but found we were wrong lol
but it's a fact that most of algerians are arabized culturally, but bc of ignorance, they started to believe that all algerians are of arab ancestry lol
which nobody believe, even arabs from eastern arab world will never consider algerians arabs, like gulf people would never let their daughters marry someone from the maghreb lol
@@zazugee the word "arab" nowadays really just describes arabic speaking countries. As you said, we all have differing ethnicities but the language, religion and culture are the unifying variable. So yeah arab isn't an ethnicity really, but it's easier to identify ourselves as such because of how impactful the culture is. And the thing with the gulfs not marrying from maghreb is true but that's again due to more social issues and not real ethnic. Even within the gulf itself, families don't marry depending on the region lol
@@tallaelchazali5392 Berbers are much nicer. Dont worry about,what is about other Arabs. At least more honest.
The Arab word is a western therm , they created is to make it easy for them to call all the no-Europeans people of the Mediterranean coast.
But i don't blame the Arabs and the Europeans, I blame the Berbers "amazigh" for ignoring their history and their identity.
@@zazugee The last part is literally not true. Nobody in the gulf knows about berbers/amazigh simply that they are muslim brothers and sisters and are part of the wider arab world. The notion that they consider maghreb as lesser arabs literally does not exist and the only time I heard it was from amazigh teens when I visited Morocco. In my area a lot of levantine women from Lebanon travel for example and end up marrying (and some men too) and literally no one has ever looked down on them or said anyhthing about that, the only thing is that some people from specific tribes always oppose marriage from outside the tribe, or oppose marriage from specific tribes. You really think the "degree" in which you are arab matters to them? Like I said most literally have no idea and think kabyle and amazigh are like the people in the arabian peninsula and are arabized/muslim/arab like all of us. We all have different dialects and maaaany languages but are arabs if we speak arabic or come from a country that's part of that world with a very close shared history. At customs they consider Somalis our brothers and sisters and call them as arabs or another identity+arab or as people with a close history and part of the arab world and arab league, nobody cares if you are arabized lol.
I am literally arabized and never in my life have I seen or heard anyone actually look down on me for it and most don't even know you can look down on someone for that, and the same thing with my entire family and entire region who have traveled all across the world and the arab world and don't even know that is a thing and you are more likely to get discriminated against for literally any other reason lmao
Besides if you are arabized or have family who are or are from a tribe who settled from arabia or arabized then a DNA test can't tell you if that is true or not or how much native DNA took over as your tribe or families settled, especially not from a DNA test that can only go back a handful of generations. Not to mention there is no magical "arab gene" lol. Anyways they love you (or hate you ig) regardless.
As Tunisian, we never learned about Berber history so deep. It was all about Carthage, punics, bezentin, arabs who conquered north africa and the recent history (france and turkey).

Now, I want to say to people who's gonna read my comment that I'm a proud Tunisian Amazeigh ❤ 🙂 🇹🇳

you should be proud. I'm pretty sure that one of the children of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, later raised by Octavia (augustus caesar's sister) and married into a numidian royal family. you never know. you could be descended from those two. either way the amizigh are a fascinating bunch and in their blood is the remnants of Carthage.

I'm Berber myself, thank you for talking about our great civilization, most people don't know about it.
What I found interesting was their defense strategy. against foreigners they'd fall back to the harsh interior, regroup then strike back.
That includes the mountains, not the desert only. (unlike what all videos about berbers say)
arabs did the same, russians , mongols , vietnamese ,kurds and any people based on a rough terrain did that really
It has been used for centuries
Berbers used hit and run tactics from the punic wars to crusade wars under Saladin command there were famous units such as Numidian Cavarly or Numidian Javeliman and Berber light Cavarly
The desert and the mountains ranges were our biggest advantages to fight some of the largest empires in history.

Remnants of great Berber mausoleums are not only found on the coast region of the Maghreb, but deep in the Sahara as well. The tomb of Tin Hinan, ancient queen of the Tuaregs is probably the most famous example of this. (The tomb is also featured in the critically acclaimed video game franchise Amnesia, where it plays a key role in the story.)
A bit unsettling how you guys always manage to upload the topics I'm interested about. I thought about the Berbers yesterday and now there's a video about them!

I didn't know that a berber revolt would influence the beginning of reconquista
Since he was talking about the berber revolt he should countine the event of what happened to the khwareji at the end..the umayyad general Handhala ibn Safwan al-Kalbi ended the berber revolt after they defeat them in battle al qren and chlef al esnam resulted that most of khwarjei army was killed around 120k..the even was mentioned and witnessed by north african and berber historian for such as ibn raqeq al koroani and ibn khaldoun and ibn azari
rashuidn their influence to this region doesn't counted since they stopped of their expasnion after death of uthman and first fitna has occrued
North africa was sucessfully conquered completely within afew by uqba ibn nafiq as begining conquest of al maghreb started with umayyad..uqba got killed due to ambush that was set up by aksel along with berber and roman
Later the umayyad had to temporarily
abandon of their province in africa and others region due to the
due to the conflicts and cilvil wars and the second fitna that lasted for 30 years..they were dealing with others empires and banditers and khwarjei in different area and region not just with the berber..caliph of umayyad abd al malak managed to extinguished the strife and conflicts along with his strong army and general..extend and recovered
their influence and expansion to the new and their abandoned region
@@omarmma4254 i'm sure the one that after the Great Berber Revolt wasn't the Second, but the Third Fitna and the Abbasid Revolution
It was the Umayyad racist attitude towards non- Arab Muslims that led to their demise

So, if I follow the ancient Egyptian definition the berber were the first Metalheads?
@@LauftFafa why should they understand Arabic? Its not their language, its not the language of North Africa, they speak the native language
@@LauftFafa 40% in Morocco speaks Tamazight, and almost 50% of the Moroccans worldwide speaks Tamazight. Besides that, many Arabic speaking Moroccans know that they are Amazigh, and the Moroccan culture is almost fully Amazigh, the clothing, traditions, food, architecture, dances etc
@wulpurgis
''via slave-trade''?? are you high or something? berber slave-traders sell the black African they captured to middle eastern & north Africa markets not to westerners and those enslaved black African captives were mostly females and had not been 'culturally' berberized or arabized yet.
@@LostTumbs Because they didn't. They simply established colonies along the coast without resistance from the Berbers as they had good relations and it allowed them to trade in a mutually beneficial way. When Carthage expanded, it didn't just "conquer" Berbers, it made them fight amongst each other, because Carthage was never alone and always had allies, tributaries and subjects amongst it's neighbors.
Plus, the Egyptians also had very little incentives to conquer this area of the world anyway, they always either kept to themselves or tried to conquer the much more fertile and rich Levant
Also, cultural influences go both ways, we know that the Amazigh language has borrowed words from every other people that came along north Africa through cultural exchanges and even conserved those words very well. Nowadays this language is even frequently used by linguists to try and piece out those ancient languages like the African Romance or (Carthaginian) Phoenician, it is not enough since it's just a few loan words, but it's a really useful source to have.
@@LostTumbs Numidia wasn't a unified kingdom during the Carthaginian period, the berber were still disunited between different tribes and confederation. The Carthaginian sure had good relations with them overall but they still went to war with them on occasion
It's sad how we as north Africans we never learn about our history in schools it is completely ignored as if no one lived here before the few thousand Arab soldiers. Thank you for your work ❤
no one learns their ancient history in school
Sub Saharan African Here!!
I'm really impressed by this video. I always thought that berber was only a native language of north africa but i found out that there is north african native tribe named berber. Greetings from zambia 🇿🇲
The word berber comes from roman greeks
They called us that but we are amazigh
No such thing as a "Sub Saharan African". Do not let liars, invaders, and murderers, or their descendants, try to compartmentalize you to one region on that continent, as if the Sahara is some impassable barrier.
@@rockymvvrcianu6846 This history isn't complete. I don't like the term sub-Saharan African because it denotes race and not location. It shouldn't. North Africa had people living in the desert when it was green Sahara. Archeologists have found evidence of them.
@@rockymvvrcianu6846 you are on the wrong channel. Sub Saharan African is the correct term. Negro is also acceptable terminology. I gather you do not have negro DNA. I do.
Gotta feel respect towards the Berbers, what an amazing stand against the might of the Arabs.
The Berber Revolt of 740 in Iberia did play a major role in History, even greater than what was described here. In fact, the whole of the ancient Roman Province of Gallaecia was abandoned, encompassing what is nowadays Galicia (Spain) and Northern Portugal. This throw the region into what we call in Portugal the _Ermamento_ , meaning roughly an "unpopulated area". Of course the region wasn't all deprived of people, but it did presented an awkward situation, for it was not under the control of neither the Caliphate nor the Kingdom of Asturias.
Churches and monasteries were all that could maintain a sense of cohesion here for the next decades, but it was indeed an easy target for the Kingdom of Asturias to come and claim it. Some of the first nobles of Asturias were indeed from Gallaecia, not Asturias itself.
Notice that, in the History of the Reconquista, these early stages are not mentioned as conquests, but by the latin name of _Praesvria_ , meaning something like "to claim", not so much "to conquer" or "to retake". Such is the case of the _Praesvria_ of now Portuguese cities such as Braga, Porto (and the _Praesvria_ of Porto started the creation of the County of Portucale, the seed to what would become an independent Portugal in 1143), Chaves and Lamego, as soon as in the IX century. By the X Century, Reconquest secured all regions North of the Douro, never to loose it again, and indeed the Reconquista march to the South always went on further in the West than in the East.
Muslim archaelogical foundings are not to be found (no pun intended) in Gallaecia. Even Muslim names for places/rivers or villages/towns are pratically none, much differently from the rest of the country, where they come by the dozens. We do have lots of "legends" about Moorish princessess traped inside some rock, who can be heard singing or working on a loom and only during the night of St. John's day, go figure - don't ask me why...
All started with the Berber Revolt.

Berbers always seem like such an amazing culture
Yes and we are also one of the biggest traitors to each other. Never give a Berber your back, i tell you that as an Mazigh myself! Today they are just claiming they are descend of Imazighen but can't even speak the language 🤣

Greetings to all amazigh and arab brothers
You should have brought up the Guanche people of the Canary Islands. It is known that they are related to the mainland Berber tribes. They also developed a unique whistling language later known as Silbo.
interesting info
While there is a genetic link, is a stretch to call Guanches Amazig or Berebers, they had a unique culture that develop in isolation for thousands of years.
@@XxLIVRAxX wtf No it's not a stretch... Guanches were amazigh too, if you know even a bit you'd know they had the same lifestyle. They respected their ancestors by mummifying them and built granaries in the mountains just like berbers did all over north africa. And let's not talk about the genetic studies who further proved it.
people of canary island never fight beat the european power. the people of canary islands surrender easily to spain. Meanwhile people of morocco, algeria and tunisia fight spain , france and portugal
@@LuisAldamiz which is 3000 years now unless I am somehow mistaken, and until 1402 there was basically no outside influence, so 2400 years of isolation, which does qualify as "thousands of years".

Such a great piece of work. As a Moroccan, this is not what they taught us in schools. In fact we never knew that such a war existed between the arabs and the berbers.
The Alawiet dynastie don’t whant you to know because it will put them in the shadow of the ones who are natural leaders and fought only when it came up to their freedom and independence.
Pay attention next time during history class instead of sleeping.
We do 100 learn about berber revolt and Moroccan tribes winning independence from eastern caliphates effectively starting the first moroccan states of nekour/sijilmasa/barghwata and zenata confederate.
mostly successful summary, I applaud you for it. However, I was hoping you could go into more details in the prehistoric period of the Berber people and their origin. I read many theories and I hope you could shed some light on it. Great work again
The introduction gave me the impression that he was going to do that in this video, then he kind of moved quickly. well I hope he will do one on the Berber people
